...decided that Day One--on Sept. 11, the anniversary of one of the greatest challenges this country has faced--would be devoted to the ServiceNation Presidential Candidates Forum at Columbia University. In their first joint appearance since becoming the official nominees of their parties, John McCain and Barack Obama would separately and in turn discuss their vision for national service--and how they would try to inspire the country with that vision. It is a tribute to their commitment to this issue that they both agreed to participate in the event with only seven weeks to go before Election...
...rather than Washington's preferred hazy "time horizon" - al-Maliki's position may not be as solid as it sounds. The 2011 date is "not a 100% time limit," Hammoud says.

Just four years ago, Harvard and MIT launched a decade-long experiment to test an innovative organizational model for scientific discovery. Now, the results are in. The Broad Institute, a unique joint effort between Harvard and MIT to bring genome-based information to medicine, received a $400 million gift from founding benefactors Eli and Edythe L. Broad last week. The gift marked the fourth anniversary of the institute. The gift brings the total investment by the Broads to $600 million, dwarfing any donation given to either university. The new gift will enable the institute, founded soon after the completion...
...General David Petraeus, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, wanted to maintain the current force level through next June, but agreed to the modest troop reduction under pressure from Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. They are eager to divert additional troops to Afghanistan, which can only happen if troops are pulled out of Iraq.
